HDStreaming

Hi guys,

I have a burning question. I have a gigabit ethernet network at home. Today I found out my streamer : AC Ryan Playon hd
only has a 10M/100M NIC in it. My question is : Can i stream HD 1080P movies proper ? Are there even Gigabit Streamers ?
Can anyone give me a simple example of how many Megabyte p second is needed to stream heavy 1080P Blue ray 30Gig files ?
Whats the standard for those heavy HD files to stream at what Speed thats what it comes too.

Please help me guys,

Great Forum !!

Greetz,

blu-ray maxes out around 50mbps. you should get around 60mbps throughput on a 10/100 nic. everything should be ok.

Shouldn't be a problem at all. My BD player has a 10/100 NIC and I stream 1080p through it with no problems whatsoever. No lag, no stuttering, perfect quality.

With nothing else happening on your network you should be fine. I use a WDTV Live that has 10/100/1000 and still found some occasional hiccups. My router is a D-Link that gives priority to gaming so my son doesn't see much lag.

However, instead of doing direct network shares with the WDTV Live, I now use WMP and have a 10 sec buffer that's fixed all hiccups whatsoever.

Max Blu-Ray sustained rate is 35Mb/s, typical is 20-30Mb/s. For a quiet network figure a 100T Ethernet will be near the edge for continuous streaming but a 100Mb/s device feeding a Gigabit switched network should be ok.
